Abstract

1. A diagnostic-test system consisting of a solid phase of a polystyrene that has the capacity to bind protein or of a sheet of polyester film at least one side of which has a uniform pigment-lacquer dulling layer that has the capacity to adhere to specific reagents, the reagents are dried on said phase in spatially separated compartments or fields characterized in that monoclonal antibodies that are specific to certain antigens, especially blood-type antigens, are employed.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein diagnostisches Testsystem bestehend aus einer festen Phase aus einem proteinbindungsfähigen Polystyrol oder einer Polyesterfolie, die mindestens auf einer Seite mit einer gleichmäßigen gegenüber bestimmten Reagentien haftfähigen Pigmentlackmattierungsschicht versehen ist, auf die in räumlich voneinander getrennten Kompartinenten oder Feldern Reagentien aufgetrocknet sind.The invention relates to a diagnostic test system consisting of a solid phase made of a protein-binding polystyrene or a polyester film, which is provided on at least one side with a uniform pigment varnish layer adhering to certain reagents, onto which reagents are dried in spatially separated compartments or fields.

Unter diagnostischem Testsystem versteht man beispielsweise Blutgruppenidentitätskarten, die insbesondere ihre Anwendung im Bed side-Test finden oder Mikrotiterplatten zur Blutgruppendiagnostik, die ihre Anwendung in der Blutgruppenserologie, in Blutbanken, Krankenhäusern und bei Vaterschaftsbestimmungen finden.A diagnostic test system is understood to mean, for example, blood group identity cards which are used in particular in the bed side test or microtiter plates for blood group diagnosis which are used in blood group serology, in blood banks, hospitals and in paternity determinations.

Aus dem DE-GM 80 29 569 ist eine Blutgruppenidentitätskarte aus einer mit Pigmentlackmattierungsschicht versehenen Polyesterfolie bekannt, die auf ihrer Oberfläche auf räumlich voneinander getrennten Feldern festhaftende trockne Schichten aus im wesentlichen reinen Antiseren aufweist.DE-GM 80 29 569 discloses a blood group identity card made of a polyester film provided with a pigmented matting layer, which has dry layers of essentially pure antisera adhering to its surface on spatially separated fields.

Gegenüber früheren Blutgruppenidentitätskarten mit angetrockneten Antiseren, die als Haftvermittler Dextran verwendeten, wobei das Dextran-Antiserum-Gemisch nicht direkt mit dem zu testenden Blut vermischt werden konnte, sondern erst mit Wasser aufgelöst werden mußte, hat die in der DE-GM 80 29 569 beschriebene Karte den Vorteil, daß auf der mit Pigmentlackmattierung beschichteten Polyesterfolie, wie sie als Zeichenfolie auf dem Markt ist, Antiseren ohne jegliche haftvermittelnden Zusätze ausgeze ichnet haften. Dadurch entfällt ein Haftmittel, wie es bei früheren Karten erforderlich war, und zugegebenes Blut löst beim Verrühren die angetrockneten Antiseren auf, so daß auf das Auflösen mit Wasser verzichtet werden kann und der Test sehr leicht und schnell durchführbar ist.Compared to previous blood group identity cards with dried antisera, which used dextran as an adhesion promoter, the dextran-antiserum mixture could not be mixed directly with the blood to be tested, but first had to be dissolved with water, the card described in DE-GM 80 29 569 has the advantage that on the polyester film coated with pigment varnish, as it is on the market as a drawing film , Antisera without any adhesion-promoting additives. This eliminates the need for an adhesive, as was the case with previous cards, and added blood dissolves the dried antisera when stirred, so that it can be dispensed with with water and the test can be carried out very easily and quickly.

Aus dem DE-GM 81 37 962 ist eine Mikrotiterplatte zur Blutgruppendiagnostik bekannt, die mit einer Vielzahl von Näpfchen aus einem proteinbindungsfähigen Kunststoff ausgestattet ist und deren Näpfchenböden festhaftende trockne Schichten aus im wesentlichen reinen Antiseren aufweisen.From DE-GM 81 37 962 a microtiter plate for blood group diagnosis is known, which is equipped with a large number of wells made of a protein-binding plastic and the well bases have firmly adhering dry layers of essentially pure antisera.

Gegenüber früheren Mikrotiterplatten, in die flüssige Antiseren entweder unmittelbar vor der Untersuchung in die Näpfchen eingefüllt oder auf Vorrat eingefüllt und eingefroren wurden, hat die in der DE-GM 81 37 962 beschriebene Mikrotiterplatte den Vorteil, daß auf dem starren, transparenten, proteinbindungstrockene fähigen KunststoffVAntiseren ohne jegliche haftvermittelnden Zusätze ausgezeichnet haften, Antiseren, die in die Näpfchen eingebracht werden, eine festhaftende Schicht auf den Böden der Näpfchen bilden und beim Transport kein Ablösender Schicht erfolgt.Compared to earlier microtiter plates, in which liquid antisera were either filled into the wells immediately prior to the examination or filled and frozen in stock, the microtiter plate described in DE-GM 81 37 962 has the advantage that plastic antisera are capable of drying on the rigid, transparent, protein-binding dry Adheres excellently without any adhesion-promoting additives, antisera which are introduced into the wells form a firmly adhering layer on the bottoms of the wells and the layer does not become detached during transport.

Das Einfüllen flüssiger Antiseren entfällt und vor der Anwendung erübrigt sich somit ein Rehydratisieren. Es wird lediglich ein Tropfen Kochsalzaufschwemmung der zu untersuchenden Blute zugegeben, wobei sich durch leichtes Schütteln die Antiseren lösen.There is no need to fill in liquid antisera and rehydration is therefore unnecessary before use. Only a drop of saline suspension is added to the blood to be examined, and the antisera dissolve by shaking gently.

Nach kurzem Zentrifugieren (z.B. 2 Minuten bei 1000 U/Min.) - ohne vorausgehende Inkubation - wird aufgeschüttelt und ausgewertet.After a short centrifugation (e.g. 2 minutes at 1000 rpm) - without previous incubation - the mixture is shaken and evaluated.

Neben all den Vorteilen, die diese vorstehend beschriebenen diagnostischen Testsysteme gegenüber früheren Systemen aufweisen, besitzen sie jedoch den Nachteil, daß ihre Lagerfähigkeit bei höheren Temperaturen oder bei der sogenannten Wechsellagerung, d.h. Wechsel zwischen höheren und niedrigeren Temperaturen begrenzt ist.In addition to all the advantages that these diagnostic test systems described above have over previous systems, they have the disadvantage, however, that their shelf life at higher temperatures or during so-called alternate storage, i.e. Alternation between higher and lower temperatures is limited.

Die auf den festen Phasen angetrockneten, im wesentlichen reinen Antiseren werden z.B. aus Citratplasmen durch Rekalzifizierung gewonnen. Der Rekalzifizierungsvorgang ist ein Gleichgewichtsprozeß, der nicht zur völligen Ausfällung aller am Gerinnungsvorgang beteiligter Proteine führt.The essentially pure antisera dried on the solid phases are e.g. obtained from citrate plasmas by recalcification. The recalcification process is an equilibrium process which does not lead to the complete precipitation of all proteins involved in the coagulation process.

Um Denaturierung der Proteine zu verhindern, muß eine gewisse Restfeuchte im Produkt vorhanden sein. Bei Lagerung bei höheren Temperaturen finden in Gegenwart der Restfeuchte Wechselwirkungen der Proteine untereinander statt, die zu Gelbildung führen. Die Vielfalt der Proteine und ihre Wechselwirkungen untereinander machen es unmöglich, genaue Angaben über schwerlösliche oder zur Gelbildung führende Proteine zu machen. Als störende Faktoren kommen vor allem Denaturierungs- und Abbauprodukte der am Gerinnungsablauf beteiligten Proteine in Betracht. Der Faktor XIII, ein fibrinstabilisierender Gerinnungsfaktor, kann zu Quervernetzungen führen, und es ist mit Fibronectin, dem CIG (cold insoluble globulin), einem Fibrinabbauprodukt, zu rechnen, das bei Zimmertemperatur nicht in Lösung geht.In order to prevent denaturation of the proteins, a certain residual moisture must be present in the product. When stored at higher temperatures, the proteins interact with each other in the presence of the residual moisture, which leads to gel formation. The variety of proteins and their interactions make it impossible to give precise information about poorly soluble or gel-forming proteins. Denaturing and degradation products of the proteins involved in the coagulation process are particularly disruptive factors. Factor XIII, a fibrin-stabilizing coagulation factor, can lead to cross-linking, and fibronectin, the CIG (cold insoluble globulin), a fibrin breakdown product, is to be expected at room temperature does not go into solution.

Bei Zugabe von Blut oder einer Erythrozytensuspension zu den angetrockneten Antiseren kann eine solche Gelbildung ein vollständiges Auflösen verhindern, was zu falsch positiven Resultaten führt, da die Gelbildung wie eine Agglutination aussieht.If blood or an erythrocyte suspension is added to the dried antisera, such gel formation can prevent complete dissolution, which leads to false positive results, since the gel formation looks like agglutination.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Lagerfähigkeit diagnostischer Testysteme, bei denen auf eine feste Phase Reagentien, wie Antiseren, aufgetrocknet sind, zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to improve the shelf life of diagnostic test systems in which reagents, such as antisera, are dried on a solid phase.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß in einem gattungsgemäßen diagnostischen Testystem als aufgetrocknete Reagentien anstelle herkömmlicher Antiseren oder deren Immunglobulin-Fraktionen, monoklonale Antikörper mit Spezifität gegen bestimmte Antigene, insbesondere Blutgruppenantigene, verwendet werden.This object is achieved in that in a generic diagnostic test system as dried reagents instead of conventional antisera or their immunoglobulin fractions, monoclonal antibodies with specificity against certain antigens, in particular blood group antigens, are used.

Man fand, daß aufgrund der Reinheit der monoklonalen Antikörper - sie sind praktisch frei von Fremdproteinen - keine Nachgerinnung oder störende Gelbildung bei Lagerung bei höheren Temperaturen oder Raumtemperatur stattfindet.It was found that due to the purity of the monoclonal antibodies - they are practically free of foreign proteins - there is no post-clotting or disruptive gel formation when stored at higher temperatures or room temperature.

Gegen die Verwendung von monoklonalen Antikörpern für den erfindungsgemäßen Zweck bestand jedoch ein Vorurteil. Es zwar zu erwarten, daß aufgrund der hohen Verdünnung, in der monoklonale Antikörper vorliegen, und der Abwesenheit von Schutzkolloiden, wie z.B. Albumin, keine lange Haltbarkeit besonders bei Raumtemperatur oder höherer Temperatur vorhanden sein würde, da bekanntlich hochverdünnte Proteinlösungen, in denen durch die Verdünnung auch der kolloidale Schutzfaktor verringert wird, äußerst instabil sind.However, there was a prejudice against the use of monoclonal antibodies for the purpose according to the invention. It can be expected that due to the high dilution in which monoclonal antibodies are present and the absence of protective colloids, such as Albumin, there would be no long shelf life, especially at room temperature or higher temperature, since it is known that highly diluted protein solutions, in which the colloidal protective factor is also reduced by the dilution, are extremely unstable.

Überraschenderweise zeigte sich jedoch, daß bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verwendung monoklonale Antikörper außergewöhnlich stabil und lange reaktionsfähig sind.Surprisingly, however, it was found that monoclonal antibodies are extraordinarily stable and reactive for a long time when used according to the invention.

Monoklonale Antikörper sind hochspezifische Antikörper, die sich dadurch herstellen lassen, daß man ein Tier mit einem Antigen immunisiert, Antikörper produzierende Zellen von diesem Tier erhält und die Antikörper produzierenden Zellen mit Tumor-Zell-Linien; z.B. Myeloma-Zell-Linien, fusioniert, wobei man Hybridomas erhält, die isoliert werden und die die monoklonalen Antikörper produzieren (Köhler, G. und Milstein, C., Eur.J.Immunol., 6, 511-519 (1976) und Köhler, G. und Milstein, C., Nature, 256, 495 (1975) .Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific antibodies which can be produced by immunizing an animal with an antigen, obtaining antibody-producing cells from this animal and the antibody-producing cells with tumor cell lines; e.g. Myeloma cell lines fused to give hybridomas which are isolated and which produce the monoclonal antibodies (Koehler, G. and Milstein, C., Eur.J. Immunol., 6, 511-519 (1976) and Koehler , G. and Milstein, C., Nature, 256, 495 (1975).

Monoklonale Antikörper funktionieren wie Antiseren, obgleich sie nicht Bestandteil eines Serums, sondern aus dem Serum "herausgepickte" Antikörper sind.Monoclonal antibodies work like antisera, although they are not part of a serum, but rather "picked" from the serum.

Die aus dem Kulturmedium von Hybridoma-Kulturen in vitro oder aus den Ascitesflüssigkeiten von tumortragenden Wirtstieren gewonnenen monoklonalen Antikörper reagieren angetrocknet auf festen Phasen als agglutinierende Antikörper in gleicher Weise wie Antiseren oder Immunglobulin-Fraktionen.The monoclonal antibodies obtained from the culture medium of hybridoma cultures in vitro or from the ascites fluids of tumor-bearing host animals react dry to solid phases as agglutinating antibodies in the same way as antisera or immunoglobulin fractions.

Sie haften auf den erfindungsgemäß zu verwendeten festen Phasen ohne jegliche haftvermittelnden Zusätze in genauso ausgezeichneter Weise wie Antiseren.They adhere to the solid phases to be used according to the invention without any adhesion-promoting additives in the same excellent way as antisera.

Ein für die feste Phase besonders geeignetes Folienmaterial ist eine Polyesterfolie, die im Extrudierverfahren hergestellt und durch biaxiale Streckung und Hitzestabilisierung dimensionsstabil gemacht wurde und auf beiden Seiten mit einer gleichmäßigen Pigmentlackmattierung beschichtet ist. Eine besonders zweckmäßige Folie besitzt folgende mechanische und physikalische Eigenschaften: Zugfestigkeit 1 800 kg/cm2, Streckgrenze 980 kg/cm2, thermische Ausdehnung 0,027 mm/m/°C, Feuchtigkeitsausdehnung 0,01 mm/m/% RF, Wärmefestigkeit 150°C Eine derart besonders zweckmäßige Folie ist unter der Bezeichnung Zeichenfolie Safir PL Opak-weiß im Handel erhältlich.A film material which is particularly suitable for the solid phase is a polyester film which has been produced by the extrusion process and has been made dimensionally stable by biaxial stretching and heat stabilization and is coated on both sides with a uniform matting of pigment lacquer. A particularly useful film has the following mechanical and physical properties: tensile strength 1,800 kg / cm 2 , yield strength 980 kg / cm 2 , thermal expansion 0.027 mm / m / ° C, moisture expansion 0.01 mm / m /% RH, heat resistance 150 ° C Such a particularly expedient film is commercially available under the name of drawing film Safir PL opaque white.

Als besonders gut geeignete Mikrotiterplatten erwiesen sich Flachbodenplatten mit zylindrischen Näpfchen aus strahlensterilisiertem Polystyrol, wie sie für die Verwendung für Zellkulturen im Costar (R) Kat.Nr. 3596 beschrieben werden. Diese Platten weisen eine hohe Proteinbindungsfähigkeit auf. Die Näpfchen- bö.den können zylindrisch, U-förmig oder V-förmig ausgebildet sein.Flat-bottom plates with cylindrical wells made of radiation-sterilized polystyrene, such as those used for cell cultures in Costar (R) Cat.No. 3596 can be described. These plates have a high protein binding capacity. The cup bases can be cylindrical, U-shaped or V-shaped.

Beispiel 1example 1

Es wurden vergleichende Lagerungsversuche zwischen Blutgruppenidentitätskarten aus einer Polyesterfolie, wie sie vorstehend als besonders zweckmäßige Folie beschrieben wurde durchgeführt, auf die einerseits Anti-A und Anti-B Antiseren und andererseits Anti-A und Anti-B monoklonale Antikörper aufgetrocknet worden waren.Comparative storage tests were carried out between blood group identity cards made of a polyester film, as described above as a particularly expedient film, onto which anti-A and anti-B antisera and on the other hand anti-A and anti-B monoclonal antibodies had been dried.

Bei einer Wechsellagerung zwischen 37°C und 2-8°C war bei den mit Antiseren beschichteten Karten bereits nach 3 Wochen Gelbildung zu beobachten, während bei den mit monoklonalen Antikörpern beschichteten Karten nach 14 Wochen keine Gelbildung erfolgt war und die Antikörper völlig intakt bzw. reaktiv waren ohne störende Effekte.With alternating storage between 37 ° C and 2-8 ° C, the gel coated with antisera was observed after 3 weeks, whereas with cards coated with monoclonal antibodies no gel was formed after 14 weeks and the antibodies were completely intact or were reactive without disruptive effects.

Beispiel 2Example 2

Man verfuhr nach Beispiel 1, jedoch mit dem Unterschied, daß man die Karten bei Raumtemperatur lagerte. Bei den mit Antiseren beschichteten Karten war bereits nach 6 Wochen Gelbildung zu beobachten, während bei den mit monoklonalen Antikörpern beschichteten Karten nach 27 Wochen keine Gelbildung erfolgt war und die Antikörper völlig intakt bzw. reaktiv waren ohne störende Effekte.The procedure was as in Example 1, but with the difference that the cards were stored at room temperature. In the case of cards coated with antisera, gel formation was observed after only 6 weeks, while in the case of cards coated with monoclonal antibodies, no gel formation had occurred after 27 weeks and the antibodies were completely intact or reactive without disruptive effects.

Außer zur Blutgruppenbestimmung lassen sich mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Testsystem auch andere serologische und mikrobiologische Tests durchführen.In addition to blood group determination, other serological and microbiological tests can also be carried out with the test system according to the invention.
